Delayed Flight - Will AS Lounge Stay Open? (Very Unlikely)
Have an upcoming flight that is delayed around 3 hours to 12:45am which puts departure past the LAX lounge closing hours. Does anyone know if the 11pm closing time is a hard time or do they keep the lounge open until the last flight has departed if there are delays?

Alaska looks at the lounge as a stand-alone product. With hours. Guidelines. Services.
It’s a product, not an amenity.
The bigger international carriers sell their lounges as an amenity - part of the experience for a premium fare.
if it’s an amenity, they have to work to match it to the product, and they do. If it’s a product, they manage the product. And for Alaska, it’s a product.

At LAX, the carpeted airside connector between Terminal 6 and 7 is a popular space for people to lounge.
